Review
I bought my 1999 Ford Taurus SE wagon in 2001 as a lease turn in. The car has never failed me. Only tires, brakes,fluids and filters have been replaced. The car bought with 29,000 miles on it for 11 grand, now has 208,000 miles on it. The tailgate is starting to rust. I hate the fact that Ford killed this car off. I would buy another one in a heartbeat, as a matter of fact, I am looking for a 2004 Sable now to replace my Taurus. The car does nothing exceptional, but everything well. It has never broken down, never been on a tow truck. The power locks have just quit on me, but for a car with 208,000 miles on it and no payment for three years, I say thank's very much, Ford Motor Co.

The Taurus SHO and other models (G, LX etc.) has been a very great asset to Ford. I love my SHO, it has everything I want in a car except a 5-speed or a shiftable automatic. The car is fun to drive and very solid. However, I feel that Ford has a big problem on their hands with all the terrible camshaft failures. I think Ford should own up to the problem and fix all the cars that fail or have a recall and put properly made cams in the cars. Many people love their SHO's and it seems like the right thing for Ford to do. I would expect such a huge company (one of the big three) to own up to the production flaw. Why should people have to get their cams welded? Ford needs to pay for it.

Bought this car used with 120k on it. It has been a blast to drive. Great gas mileage, 26MPG. Tons of spaces. put about 40k on it; just had to change the alternator. Been coast to coast twice. SO MUCH FUN FOR A WAGON!

It is an okay car for the money we spent. We have had some repairs at 72,000. The biggest thing, and something we would have liked to know before we purchased the car, is that the Taurus has problems with the heater core and the heater going out. We're working on the second time of backflushing the heater core in order to avoid having to replace it. It is very expensive (and cold)! It is a comfortable, powerful, and roomy car - good for road trips, camping, and trips to the hardware store. A very nice back seat - for people and our large dog. I would recommend buying one, just know that there are some flaws associated with the Taurus Wagon.

I had a '93 Taurus first, great family car, only needed water pump. My '99 Taurus is falling apart around me: electrical problems,sensor lights, a/c died and temperature only blows very hot, front end problems (ball joints), antenna stuck up. One saving grace, the 24 valve Duratec engine is a workhorse, still has great pick-up at over 100k. I am looking at the new Freestyle but won't touch it unless Ford puts this engine into it.

Well at first I was somewhat hesitant
to purchase this vehicle.But as a few
people have said that the ride and the
comfort was much nicer then I had
expected. I just like to say that it is
one smart buy. And I spent half the
money I was expecting to spend.The
Audio system is a little poor, but that
is a quick fix. Other then that it has
been a great car for camping, going to
the beach as well just cruising.

The 200 HP engine has excellent power
and gas mileage that is quite good.
The transmission down shifts are rough
and indecisive. The wagon is a very
handy vehicle which I'd rather have
than an SUV. At 52,000 miles I haven't
had any problems but I am concerned
about the durability of the
transmission.

Stable unexciting working car used by
conservative lady driver for shopping
and occasional trip. Low maintenance so
far , good care by driver.

Best car for the money, we travel a lot
including Mexico. Hauls all our gear,
and not like a Mini van or suv
you can see and easy to park.

I have found that in 92,000 miles my
Wagon has been very reliable. Only one
problem with a Vacum conector
Conection . MY maintiance cost have
been limited to Brakes, Rotors, Tires
one time only and a Serpintine Belt.
only I am told now to watch my Ball
Joints they are showing some ware. But
not Bad for 92,000 miles
